Yes Don,
I for one thought I had a dead USB/serial converter until I realized that I=
 had it connected backwards (K2 end to KAT100 and KAT100 end to K2)!
It does not harm anything, but  the PC will not connect.

The normal PC to K2 to KAT100 cable *is* a "Y" cable of sorts, look in the =
KAT100 manual for the details.
It is not possible to get it backwards because the PC end has female pins w=
hile the KAT100 end has male pins.
The only "problem" that could occur with a properly made cable is that the =
connectors could be swapped between the K2 and the KAT100.
The connector with 2 cables in it must connect to the K2 - if backwards, th=
e KAT100 will work fine, but the PC connection will not.

73,
Don W3FPR
